Abstract

Verrucous melanoma (VM) is a rare variety of the cutaneous melanoma that may resemble both clinically and histologically with benign lesions. Verrucous melanoma was described in 1967, but rarely mentioned today. Most common site is lower extremity in females.A 62 year old women presented with an exophytic growth on lower limb. An excisional biopsy was performed. On histopathology it reported as verrucous melanoma. Diagnosis of verrucous melanoma is difficult because they mimic seborrheic keratosis and pigmented verrucous nevi.
